Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Steak

Season the flat iron steak with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until desired doneness. Let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into thin strips.

2

Cook the Rice

Prepare the white rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

3

Prepare the French Fries

Cook the french fries according to package instructions, either by frying or baking until crispy.

4

Assemble the Burrito

Lay a large flour tortilla flat on a plate. In the center of the tortilla, layer the sliced steak, white rice, mixed cheese, french fries, pico de gallo, guacamole, and chipotle mayo.

5

Roll the Burrito

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to encase all the ingredients. Ensure it's tightly wrapped.

6

Serve

Cut the burrito in half and serve with extra pico de gallo and guacamole on the side.
